CANTON – Moving into a new home can make an autistic child uncomfortable, anxious and even scared.

To help ease the moving process for these children and their families, Jim Sullivan decided to do something.

Sullivan, president of Canton-based Humboldt Storage and Moving, contacted the Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism and a video production company, Ablevision, and proposed a plan: Together, they could create instructional videos and a downloadable toolkit to educate and aid families moving with autistic members.

The plan worked.

The project, begun in January, was completed early this month.

It started with the Framingham-based Doug Flutie Jr. Foundation for Autism reaching out to its local autism support groups to gather tips and advice for families preparing to relocate.

Members of the Autism Support Center, a program of Northeast ARC in Danvers, and Community Resources for People with Autism in Easthampton provided most of the advice for both the videos and the toolkit.

Some of the tips and advice include using various techniques, like showing images of the new home to the autistic child, visiting the new neighborhood and sticking to the child’s routine during the move.

Humboldt Storage and Moving, founded in 1905, has produced videos in the past focused on tips for moving with children, but this is new ground in terms of creating resources for families affected by autism, Sullivan said.

“This isn’t about Humboldt,” he said. “This is about any family that’s moving with an individual on the autism spectrum.”

Another part of the project included training Humboldt employees. Moving staff and crews will continue to be trained on what autism is and some of the leading causes of stress for an autistic person.
